Just came back from a 2 week vacation. Still working on dialing in a 4 month old pool. So I have my cleaner run from 9am to 5pm (I have solar electric) with SWG set at 40%. I have the high power in floor cleaner run from 9 to 11am then again 6 to 7pm before swim time. The pool is clean and other...

Hi everyone, So we are in our 3rd month of a new pebble tech SWP in Arizona. With the groups help I have been holding my own with Ph and TA. Now my little 7650gal pool does not take much run time so if I understand correctly SWGs wear out based on hours used. If correct can I decrease pump run...

Hi, long time member but now in AZ with a 2 month old SWG pool. I have been testing daily and have a good handle on FC but PH seems to go up daily. Here is a link to my Pool Math PoolMath Logs I TFP I maintained a 15k gallon pool in CA and now have a 7,650 gal SWP in AZ Current readings...

Hi, I have used TFP for over 10 years in a pool in CA that was surrounded by trees. After learning about SLAM and did the procedure it was easy to maintain without the constant shock and wait pool store routine. Jump forward to now and I have a new SWG in ground pool. Fresh fill, liquid...

Title says it all. Cover will be a 16 mil clear bubble cover on a roller that I replace every 2 years. It might go 3 years but then I run the risk of it deteriorating and making a mess. $130 is a cheap price to pay to keep our pool in the 80's for 2 years. More info, I have a 15,000 pebble...

Hello, I have had a great summer using the BBB method, SLAM, and testing free chlorine. I bought the test kit recommended and it was great, so was the stir thing for the water tests. Now it is time to shut things down. The trees still have all their leaves but that will change in the next...

Hello, I have read much about the BBB method and as a 2nd year pool owner I am following the BBB guidelines. BUT, I made a mistake. While I was doing the SLAM, I was filling the test tube to 25CM instead of the 10CM line. So I thought I was in the right range (shock 16ppm, daily, 6ppm) but...

Hello, I have read through many of the posts and I am in the middle of my first SLAM. I have all the supplies on hand and am testing regularly. My question is how can I get a consistent amount of the R-0870 powder for the Chlorine test? Some times I get a level scoop, others a heaping...

Hello, a 2nd year pool owner here and I am working through my first SLAM. Just about there. I have a question, will my 'clear' solar cover block the sun from the chlorine? Thanks Mike

Hello, I am a 2nd year pool owner and have been reading the site for a year and just now realizing how much great info there is on here. Last year I spent the year bouncing up and down on my FC levels, so this year I learned about the SLAM and OFCT. So after having 3 dogs and 10 people in...
